Florida Federal Criminal Defense Lawyers

If you are facing federal prosecution, you are about to do battle against the most powerful government on the planet. In federal court, the rules and the stakes are different. The nearly unlimited resources of the U.S. government, the harsh minimum penalties and the confusing federal sentencing guidelines provide a forum in which an unwary, inexperienced or ill-prepared attorney has little chance of success.

At Aiken, O'Halloran & Foley in southwest Florida, we recognize the severity of conviction on a federal offense or white collar crime.
